@Stefan, is this simply related to the new scanning optimization (skip 
and eventually not merge a pages within the "2 scans" windows, whereby 
previously, they would have gotten merged)?

If so, we might just want to disable that optimization for that test case?

Alternatively, maybe we have to wait for "more" scan cycles instead of 
only 2?
